During the 1800s, a man named Louis Doberman from Thuringen in Germany had a career of collecting taxes, and he needed an excellent guard dog to accompany him on his rounds. He then started to mix several dog breeds for this purpose.

Soon enough Mr. Doberman gathered the perfect prototype of the breed, that originated from German Shepherd, German Pinscher, Greyhound, Weimaraner, and the Black & Tan Manchester Terrier.

The original Dobermann dogs looked a little different than today's Dobermann breed, with rounder heads and a thicker bone structure, which in time was bred to have a more narrow race-like look. By the year 1900, the Dobermann dog became so popular that it had its own breed club.

Dobermann dogs originally were used as police dogs, and guard dogs. In time, these valuable functions became the desire of many household families, in addition to the sleek, defined appearance of the dog.

Doberman Pinscher dog is highly intelligent dog, easy to train, and a highly dependable family protector. Upkeep of the Doberman Pinscher takes more than average daily exercise. Dobermann dogs have a lot of energy, and can become very frustrated and even destructive when kept indoors too long without physical and mental stimulation. Families considering owning a Dobermans should be prepared for a lifelong commitment of daily brisk walks and plenty of vigorous dog games to play outside. This breed does well living with active families in suburban or rural home.
